Founders
Authors First is a human-led, AI-enabled book-to-screen studio and distribution platform headquartered in New York City. Founded by private equity veteran Robert Hamwee, the company collaborates directly with authors across character design, scripting, storyboarding, and virtual cinematography to produce faithful adaptations of science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction titles. Authors retain creative authority and final-cut approval, disrupting the traditional Hollywood model where production budgets often dictate what stories can be told.
